Frederick County Deliberates Charter Rule History
Frederick County has previously flirted with charter government including a 1967 study that would have expanded the commission to five, centralized purchasing and created public works and budget offices. Voters rejected a 1968 charter proposal, while current efforts are backed by local groups led by Judge Samuel Barrick and supporters like United Democrats, Young Republicans, and the League of Women Voters. Lawrence Way of Burkittsville calls for home rule and an executive office to manage growth and development.
